I'll wait out AOA for a while, I'm level 51.6 or so now. Sieges are okay, but I still feel like it's a "Pay to Win" game.
It seems like reconfiguration is an inadequate "check" to the cash shop, as a means of balance I mean and always will be. There aren't many players like me in the upper hierarchies of players who've spent less then $50 on the game.
I have some GM contact info now, and I'm trying to upgrade my guide, but beyond that and mentoring new students the game has little for me to do, but wait for the next robot MMO and try to make this one better little by little.
This game is fun in moderate amounts. I wouldn't recommend spending money on it though, most anything you need can be gotten in-game from certain players or via personal research.

I think that's DinosaurGirl Kage, LOL...
I agree with a lot of whats been said, I like this game because it has robots--that's pretty simple in my opinion.
Population wise I think it's more of a weekend game and at that\, only at certain times.
If invested you mean money, kage, then I've only spent $30 on the game--which isn't a terrible amount for any game you've played for 6 months or so.
I hope it gets better of course, CAOA definitely limits AOAUS tremendously. I'm still playing it at the moment, but if it doesn't change for some of the reasons ie) Grind/Quests just overall fun factor then I'm going to quit as well Kage.
(But I like to finish what I start so guide..)
When I said that language is a means for people to communicate the intended meaning was that you shouldn't knock people for trying. (Even if you think that they haven't)
What I found/and find superficial is how people don't want to experiment in a beta--If you understand everything before you play a game, why play it?
Another thing that you may or may not have known is the the source-code for AoA is written in Chinese AOA--meaning that it may be very hard to change some parts of the game. (Just a Thought)
Overall, I think AOA deserves about a 5-7, but it's probably the lack of English that keeps it at a low morale.
I'm not mad at you, but let me ask you a few questions. How many games do you know of that offer a decent Transformers/Mecha experience (MMO)--There aren't many. This game caters to fans of Transformers/Gundam/Robotech who are willing to give it a chance.
I do agree that the English is poor and I can see why you would uninstall it, but personally I find it to be superficial reasoning in my opinion.
Do you think that everyone in your life will speak english to the same level as you do? Capable people don't always speak english.
I however, DO, see your overarching point that people who market to a NA/EU market should make sure that their game has a standard level of english.
I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your experience,
but i do think people should give it a chance. Language is a means to communicate.
Not Everyone has the same amount of capitol to create a WoW or a Guild Wars. I respect snail for bringing AOA to US/NA, but it does have its flaws.
Good luck finding a good game sir.
